Amazon Wants to Review Your Sleep. (No, Thanks.)

A new product hit the market called ‘Halo Rise’, a sleep tracker and alarm clock all in one. The Halo monitors your sleep at night through your breathing patterns, body movement, and comfort.
The alarm clock isn’t an alarm. Instead, it dims a yellow light to represent the sun to wake you up more peacefully instead of a loud noise.

Questions and concerns.

Amazon already tracks so much of our consumer data and people have ‘Alexa’ smart devices in their homes along with ‘Ring’ cameras. This Halo would add another component to Amazon’s arsenal. You really don’t know the kind of data that they are collecting with their devices other than what tye tell you upfront.

I believe that another smart device in the home isn’t necessary. Doctors mention that the best way to get sleep is by not using technology an hour before bed. The big tech companies even back this statement even though they want you to put more tech in your home.

EMFs mess with your brain signals while you sleep. Wearing a device has the same effect and can actually worsen your sleep. Other alternatives to this are fixing your diet, limiting tech use, and calming down before bed.
